Get Value of a Single Cell

We're excited to announce a powerful new addition to our spreadsheet API - the ability to retrieve the value of a single cell using just its coordinates! This highly requested feature allows you to quickly fetch the contents of a specific cell without having to retrieve the entire sheet or row.

It streamlines your code and reduces unnecessary data transfers, improving performance. To use this endpoint, simply make a GET request to the following URL, replacing Looney Tunes with your sheet name and A1 with the cell coordinates:

https://sheet2api.com/v1/0kjuFCLSxW1e/characters/Looney%20Tunes/cells/A1
The response will be a JSON object with the cell coordinates as the key and its value as the value:
{ "A1": "Hello, World!" }
Here's a JavaScript example demonstrating usage:
var cell = 'A1'; fetch(`https://sheet2api.com/v1/0kjuFCLSxW1e/characters/Looney%20Tunes/cells/${cell}`) .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
This code fetches the value of cell A1 and logs the response to the console. The new single cell endpoint is a game-changer for developers working with sheet2api spreadsheets. It simplifies accessing granular data points and optimizes your applications. We're committed to continuously enhancing our API based on user feedback. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
